If it doesnt, you might want to use a speaker level to line level adaptor box. This will drop the amplified signal that runs your speakers to a low level you can feed into the amp.

If it does have the RCA lines, those would be preferred.

Choose an amp that puts out at least 200 watts RMS. Many amps are overrated. Look for the RMS rating in the fine print.
Dis-reguard the "Peak Power" ratings. They dont mean a whole lot.

The box the subs are in is one of the most important things in the system, because if the box doesnt preform right, you simply wont get the bass. You might get a box at a second hand store or garage sale that would out preform some of the boxes you might find at a WalMart. (The design of the box is everything)
Then make sure you get some quality subs in the box.

Also remember that sometimes a SMALL, quality sub could out preform a LARGER sub of lower quality. Theres no need to use up all of the cargo space in your vehicle for the sub and not have room for anything else.

I am assuming these are subs, you didnt say, but that is my guess. do you want bass, or do you want to take it easy on your amp? do you have a terminal cup on your sub box, or just wires going into the box to the speakers? take it easy route: wire positive from amp to positive of one speaker, negative of amp to negative of the other speaker, with a jumper wire connecting the negative of the first speaker, to the positive of the second.more bass route: run seperate positive and negative wires to each speaker, making sure to maintain proper polarity.

Check your speakers and speaker wires to make sure you have no shorts or grounds. Not knowing what vehicle you are putting the amp in, there is also a possibility that there may be a stock amp in the vehicle. If this is the case, you may have to rewire the speakers and bypass the stock amp.

12v- red wire runs to your battery, recommend 4garemote - blue wire run to a accessory wire or a remote turn on at the radioground - black wire connect to bare metal, recommend same size wire as the power.

Rca - connect to head unit or a Hi-level converter if you have a stock radio.

havent heard of too many 14" speakers... but it all depends on what ohm the speaker is. single 4 ohm- bridge it on one set of channels. left + right- . if its a dual 4 ohm i wouldnt reccomend using it at all. you could technically bridge each coil on each set of channels. but it may not sound right. kinda hard to set the gains and match them. dual 2 ohm- run the sub stereo. one coil to one channel, the other coil to the other channel. single 2 ohm. dont use it unless you get another sub like what you have. then run it stereo. one sub to one channel. the other sub to the other channel.

it will power them but it will only push a small amount of wattage to them. something like 45 watts so they won't be very loud but if you run the wires you will hear them. It's beneficial to just invest in an amp you can pick up a 200 watt pretty cheap these days. and you will be much happier with the end result.

hi, your amp seems to be getting power but the cables might be wrong so it's not getting enough power. the light on the amp should be green if everything is going well.
are you sure the cables are suitable for your amp?
